Sea Transport
This chapter focuses on the Sea Transport related to the Maltese Islands. The first part focuses on shipping matters and shows detailed data of all cargo loaded and unloaded at Maltese ports. Additionally, data on vessels registration is also found in this chapter, considering that till 2016 Malta’s shipping register was still the largest in the EU and the sixth largest globally. This chapter is also complemented with data on yachts arriving in Malta and yacht ports and respective capacity, data on fishing vessels, cruise liners visiting Malta and ends with information on the patronage of the transport between Malta and Gozo by the Gozo Channel.
2.1 Vessels
During 2016, 13,090 vessels arrived at Malta’s ports, of which 2,968 were dry cargo vessels (+3.6 per cent), 469 tankers (-3.9 per cent), 356 passenger vessels (+9.9 per cent) and 815 were fishing vessels (+35.4 per cent) (Table 2.3). As at end of 2016, the number of vessels registered under the Maltese flag amounted to 7,442, a net increase of 193 vessels over 2015. During 2016, 784 vessels were registered under the Maltese flag, with the majority being pleasure yachts amounting to 486 or 62.0 per cent of the total newly registered vessels (Table 2.10).
As at the end of 2016, the stock of fishing vessels stood at 2,977. MPVs comprised the largest proportion of fishing vessels with 1,357, or 45.6 per cent of the total. The largest registration group of fishing vessels was the MFC, totalling 2,027 vessels. Fishing vessels registered in the South Eastern district account for 28.3 per cent of the total. Marsaxlokk Mġarr (Gozo) is the port hosting the largest number of vessels amounting to 310, followed by Marsaxlokk (Ix-Xatt) with 300 vessels (Tables 2.14– 2.24).
During 2016, the number of foreign yachts arriving and berthing in Malta amounted to 1,899, with almost 80 per cent of them being of less than 24m in length. August was the month registering the highest number of yachts arrivals, totalling 366, followed by July and June with 331 and 292 yacht arrivals respectively (Table 2.25). As at end of 2016, there were ten yacht marinas in Malta and Gozo, which altogether could berth 1,966 yachts of various sizes. The largest yacht marina was the Creek Developments plc with 750 berthing places, accounting to 38.1 per cent of all the yacht berthing places available in the year under review (Table 2.26).
2.2 Cargo
Containerised local cargo, loaded and discharged, at Malta and Gozo main ports (Valletta Grand Harbour and Marsaxlokk Freeport) amounted to 0.72 million tons and 1.12 million tons respectively. Containerised transhipment cargo, loaded and discharged at the same ports, amounted to 13.28 million tons and 13.91 million tons respectively. Transhipment loading and discharging of containerised cargo, was mainly done (more than 99 per cent of the total) at the Marsaxlokk Freeport (Tables 2.27–2.28).
Table 2.30 shows all non-containerised local and transhipment cargo that was loaded and discharged in and from Malta and Gozo main ports. Fuel oil was by far the commodity with the largest loaded and discharged volumes totalling 5.6 million tons.

Road Transport
This chapter touches various aspects of Road Transport in the Maltese Islands. Some aspects go into more detail such as the stock of licensed vehicles and road traffic accidents, which constitute the two current most important topics. Other areas of review are contraventions, public transport, driving licences, VRT, and other minor but interesting topics. The chapter concludes with a series of transport indicators showing an interesting and brief outlook on transport in Malta and Gozo in general.
3.1. Road traffic accidents
In 2016 the number of reported traffic accidents reached 15,017, a decrease of 487 cases, or 3.1 per cent over the previous year. Decreases in traffic accidents were registered in all districts. The largest decrease was recorded in the Southern Harbour district, down by 4.5 per cent. The Northern Harbour district was the district to register the most accidents: 5,717 cases or 38.1 per cent of total accidents (Table 3.5).

Contrary to the total road traffic accidents that happened in 2016, road traffic accidents involving injury increased by 4.4 per cent, amounting to 1,437. The majority of these accidents happened in the Northern Harbour district, totalling 443 or 30.8 per cent of the total injury accidents (Table 3.7). Road traffic accidents involving injury constituted 9.6 per cent of the total road traffic accidents. This means that almost one accident out of every ten involved injuries.
The increase in road traffic accidents resulted in an increase of 8.2 per cent in road traffic casualties over 2015, amounting to 1,852. Of these casualties, 1,123 were drivers of whom 967 suffered slight/insignificant injuries and 147 suffered grievous ones, while injuries sustained by 11 drivers proved fatal. During the same period, 399 passengers, 142 pedestrians and 28 (of which 27 cyclists) other persons, suffered slight/insignificant injuries. Furthermore, 64 passengers, 72 pedestrians and 10 (of which 8 cyclists) other persons, suffered grievous ones. Injuries sustained by three passengers, eight pedestrians and a cyclist eventually proved fatal, thus raising the total number of fatalities in 2016 to 23 (Tables 3.8–3.12). Accidents between vehicles, topped the list of road traffic accidents fatalities with 9 cases. Vehicle hitting pedestrian followed with 8 fatalities. Other four road traffic fatalities were caused by vehicle crashing into property, while one fatality was caused by vehicle hitting a cyclist and another one road traffic fatality was caused by a hit-and-run accident where a pedestrian was involved (Table 3.16).

On a monthly basis June saw the largest number of road traffic accidents (1,379) and August saw the largest number of road traffic casualties (200) (Table 3.14-3.15). The casualty-to-accident ratio shows the risk level of injury in accidents. August scored the highest casualty-to-accident ratio with 15.3 per cent.
On a gender basis, 1,096 males and 756 females were injured in 2016, of which casualties suffered by 17 males and six females proved fatal. The largest number of male and female casualties was in the 26-40 age group (Table 3.18).

Females 41% Males 59%
Passenger cars were the major cause of traffic casualties accounting for 65.9 per cent of the total, while 20.0 per cent were caused by motorcycles. Of the 23 fatalities, 12 were caused by passenger cars, nine were caused by motorcycles and the rest two by goods-carrying vehicles (Tables 3.1). In 2016, there were 30,506 road traffic units/vehicles involved in road traffic accidents, of which 76.8 per cent were passenger cars, followed by goods-carrying vehicles with 13.6 per cent. Furthermore, there were 48 bicycles and five horse cabs involved in road traffic accidents reported during 2016 (Table 3.40).

The highest road traffic casualty rate occurred on Saturdays, accounting for 16.1 per cent of the total. The highest road traffic accident rate was recorded on Thursdays, totalling 2,373 cases, and the lowest on Sundays, with 1,473 cases. However, Sundays topped the highest casualty-to-accident ratio with 19.1 per cent (Table 3.22). The highest number of accidents happened between 09:00 and 11:59 amounting to 3,233 cases or 21.5 per cent or the total. It is to be noted that slightly over three out of every five accidents happened between 09:00 and 17:59 (Table 3.23).

It is interesting to note that there is no correlation between feast days and number of accidents that happen during that week. In 2016 on average 283 accidents per week happened. Chart 3.5 shows the distribution of accidents during all weeks in 2016. Week 19 (second week of May) saw the most number of road traffic accidents with 354 cases, while the first week of the year 2016 (full week) saw the least number of road traffic accidents with 101 cases (Table 3.25).

Passenger cars totalled 282,933 or 78.8 per cent of which almost 97 per cent were mostly privately owned. The stock of motorcycles saw the highest percentage increase (16 per cent) over 2015, due to a budgetary measure introduced by the Government in 2015 (Table 3.41). The Northern Harbour district claimed the largest number of licensed vehicles amounting to 99,027 or 27.6 per cent of the total.

During 2016, newly-licensed vehicles amounted to 22,730, almost seven per cent more than the previous year. Newly-licensed ‘new’ vehicles amounted to 10,728 or 47.2 per cent of the total, while the rest were newly-licensed ‘used’ (second-hand) vehicles (Tables 3.43–3.45). On average, in 2016, 62 motor vehicles per day were newly licensed, up by almost seven per cent over 2015. The Northern Harbour district registered the highest number of newly licensed vehicles with 5,948, followed by the Northern district with 5,468 vehicles. This means that these two districts together accounted for slightly over 50 per cent of all newly-licensed vehicles.

Used New
64 As at end of 2016, the total average age of vehicles licensed in Malta is of 14.79 years. The largest amount of vehicles is between 10 and 20 years of age totalling 138,991 or 38.7 per cent of the total. The average age of passenger cars is of 14.03 years compared to the estimated 10.9 years EU average. The majority (56.7 per cent) of newly licensed ‘used’ vehicles during 2016 were aged more than 5 years (Table 3.46-3.51).
During 2016, 28,116 vehicles had their out-of-action restriction terminated, while 38,491 vehicles had their restriction initiated during the year. This means that a net amount of 10,375 vehicles were taken off the streets during 2016. Net scrapped vehicles totalled 22,055 of which the majority (75.2 per cent) were passenger cars. During 2016, 347 vehicles were exported, while 31 vehicles were re-imported. Vehicles put up for resale amounted to 9,152 and 9,086 vehicles which were up for resale were actually sold. A total of 7,078 vehicles were scrapped in 2016, of which 5,926 or 83.7 per cent were private cars. Of these passenger cars scrapped, 1,106 were scrapped under the Government Vehicle Scrapping Scheme (Tables 3.52-3.56).
As at end 2016, the majority, 60.6 per cent, of licensed vehicles were petrol driven, while 39.0 per cent were diesel driven. This shows that Malta’s vehicle fleet is mostly dependent on polluting fuels as the contribution of alternative power amounted only to 0.4 per cent. The majority of the vehicles had a (COPERT) Euro 4 engine category amounting to 76,384, followed by (COPERT) Euro 3 engine category with 68,089 (Tables 3.57-3.58).

Methodological Notes
Air Transport
1. The data in the Air Transport Statistics section are compiled from administrative information provided by Malta International Airport.
Sea Transport
2. The data in the Maritime Statistics section, including the Cargo and Trailers data are compiled from administrative information provided by Transport Malta.
3. Sea is not a port name. We have common situations were a vessel reports its last activity such as from Outside Territorial Waters (OTW) or Within Territorial Waters (WTW), depends upon activity.
4. Norway International Ship Register (NISR) is included separately due to the fact that Norway has two different registers, known as Norway and NISR.
5. Table 2.12 includes all local and transhipment cargo and both containerised and non-containerised cargo, yet excludes M’Xlokk Freeport transhipment cargo. This shows the discrepancy between Table 2.12 and the totals in Table 2.29.
6. Table 2.29 shows only containers and trailers handled by Port Workers in both Marsaxlokk and Valletta ports, but do not display any non-containerised cargo, this shows the discrepancy between the two tables.
7. Table 2.3 is generated from the Port Management Information System. The yachts in this table come to Malta for either repairs, bunkering and/or berthing facilities inside the port. Table 2.26 represents yachts that have actually berthed in a marina in Malta and Gozo.
8. The data regarding fishing vessles are supplied by the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture
9. Definitions of fishing vessels:- (i) As stated in SL 425.07 – Fishing Vessels Regulations MFA Professional Fishing Vessels - Full-time MFB Professional Fishing Vessels - Part-time MFC Non-Commercial Fishing Vessels i.e. recreational MFD Auxiliary Vessels (work boats) used in fishing operations
(ii) As stated in the report entitled “The Maltese Fishing Industry - year 2000” drafted by Michael Darmanin, Senior Fisheries Officer, Luzzu The most traditional fishing vessel. It is pointed at both ends, and is painted in folkloristic bright colours.
Kajjik Differs from the luzzu in being generally smaller (average length 4.6 metres) and being flat ended at the stern. Previously, they were made of wood, but in recent years, fibre-glass has been the hull material of choice.
(iii) As stated from "The Fishing Industry in Malta Past-Present-Future" - Stanley Farrugia Randon Firilla Almost identical in design to the luzzu but, the bulwark (tappiera) is secured to the outside of the kontrarota. The stem posts found at each end of this boat are also much higher than those of the luzzu and it has a wider appearance.
Bimbu Has a stern resembling that of a lanca while its bow resembles that of a luzzu. Trawler A fishing trawler, also known as a dragger, is a commercial fishing vessel designed to operate fishing trawls. Trawling is a method of fishing that involves actively dragging or pulling a trawl through the water behind one or more trawlers. Frejgatina A common term referring to a small boat which in shape is similar to a kajjik or luzzu.
MPV Multi Purpose Vessel is a seagoing ship that is built for the carriage of a wide range of cargoes.
Auxiliary Vessel An Auxiliary Vessel is a vessel that is designed to operate in a number of roles supporting other vessels. Their roles may include replenishment, transport, repair, harbour, research and others. Other Any vessel that is not listed above and also include dinghy, longliner and recreational fishing vessel.
Designated Port (DP) Designated ports are specialized ports where certain types of fish can be landed. Blue-fin tuna and swordfish can only be landed in some designated ports.
10. Scheduled Sea Transport between Malta and Gozo refers to the services of the Gozo Channel Co. Ltd.
11. The table below illustrates the passengers and vehicles capacity by each Gozo Channel vessel:

165 13. Different approaches are applied for the collection of data at the Mġarr and Ċirkewwa Harbours, respectively. While the source of the data based in Mġarr is the Automated Ticketing System (ATS), data from the Ċirkewwa side is dependent on the manual clicking system.
14. The data in regarding the Cruise Liners are compiled on the basis of administrative records held by the Transport Malta.
15. Cruise liners calling at both Malta and Gozo during a single voyage are recorded as one cruise liner call.
16. Definitions regarding Cruise Liners:
(i) Cruise passenger traffic comprises embarkations from Malta, transit passengers and passengers landing in Malta.
